I know it sounds a silly question with using these UV marker pens – what happens if you move house or when you or your next of kin dispose of your security marked stock, if it contains your post code? I did read that it can`t be removed, that`s the whole point of marking your property in the first place.
I suppose that if you do convert an outbuilding into a layout room, the golden rule is not to let anybody know what’s in there, especially hard if you have children or grand children, as word soon gets around. In my first house I had a layout in the garage and my 2 off spring were growing up. But it didn`t take very long before they were telling all their friends that their Daddy has got a big railway layout in their garage, fortunately nothing untoward happened, but it did worry me.
I watched a Crime Watch type TV Programme some time ago where a “converted” Burglar was saying that one of the biggest deterrents he experienced was see a BEWARE OF THE DOG sign on a property, even better to see some evidence of a dog living there such as a kennel or a large water bowl, but big bones no, that’s a giveaway. Even though he almost certain that there was no dog living there, he wouldn`t take that chance to burgle the property, as some dogs just sit quietly and would let you in, but not let you out.
